Re: Luck so far

That's all well and good, but it's not like he's running it extremely well. 53% completion percentage, 9 TO's, 21st ranking in PPG. It's impressive that we can run the no huddle, but if it's not effective nor efficient then what's it matter.

That's not correct, he's not running the no huddle all the time. He started doing it heavily in game 4 against the Pack. Before that he ran it mostly in the 2-minute drill. And he's ran it extremely well. You listed his overall stats, which don't reflect how well he is in the no-huddle exclusively.

There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.

Re: Luck so far

We are so spoiled as Colts fans if we think Luck is having anything short of an amazing start to his rookie year. If Luck keeps even just this pace up it would be one of the best rookie seasons for a QB ever.

Yeah we know. It's just OlBlu is saying Luck is trash compared to RG3 and thats all BS

Re: Luck so far

That video was pretty heartbreaking and awesome at the same time. I couldn't help being sad to see it was the Jaguars game. It's too bad it couldn't have been the Packers game. I'm sure he had 0 complaints, of course, but I just wanted it to be the Packers game. How awesome would that have been for him?

Re: Luck so far

You would think someone in his position would just be crushed by the decision to let go of Manning. But he just accepts the change and wants to meet the new guy (Luck) who will keep it going even when he's no longer around to see it.

Re: Luck so far

Luck has been very impressive to me as a rookie QB. I am surprised by his poise, pocket awareness and his atheticism. He reminds me of another rookie QB that the blue and white had a while back, except he is a bit more polished at this stage and he might not have the super cannon arm but his intelligence has me very impressed.

Rookie rankings:

Luck #1:http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100...ankings-throne
Interestingly, RG3 is #3. I actually agree with that. I love Russell Wilson, and while he's had some rockiness here and there, what I see in that kid is a VERY good QB in a few years. Where Luck is like a mobile Manning.... Wilson is like a mobile Brees. Props to nfl.com for having some balls and not getting sucked into the RG3 hype.

What cracks me up is that RG3 has lost two straight games and not looked very good in the process, and yet Luck as won the last two, looking very good. What in the world is ESPN thinking on this one? The RG3 hype is exactly that.

What cracks me up is that you didn't watch the games. He looked GREAT against the Giants and he had that team beat but his defense gave up a long bomb to lose the game.

He was fine against the Steelers. He receivers dropped 10 passes (NFL statistic, not my observation) for the most for any game by any team this years. RGIII hit all of those passes on the button. He looked just fine. He will look even better this coming week......

Re: Luck so far

I would not..... 4 year degree in three years... RGIII is the real deal. Luck, not so much.....

Guess it depends on your priority.... Stanford is ranked #6 in the nation according to the US News and World Report. I guess he could have went to a better school like #1 Harvard, #2 Princeton, #3 Yale or the school Stanford was tied with MIT.

You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....

OlBlu saying he would take the guy who graduated with a bloody poli sci degree from Baylor over the guy who graduated with an architecture degree from Stanford and was the Academic All America of the Year is the tops.

So what?? You just want to run down the fact that RGIII graduated in three years while playing football. I already know Luck and RGIII scores on the intelligence tests given by the NFL. They were both high. RGIII was 24, Luck was 36. Compare this to Vince Young at 3......

Also, has it really come to this?

I think it ws very impressive that RGIII graduated in three years.... but you do whatever you want with that info....

Re: Luck so far

Lets say Luck and Griffin get taken out with a career ending injury. Who will have the better chance of going on in life without football with a job that will support them? Luck made a smart choice.
